	Let's have just a tinge of honesty here David.  I even
ignore most of your posts now even when you quote or refer to me--
you've become uncharateristically insulting since the announcement 
of the Community Empowerment Act--you just don't like rent control.

	Congrats by the way---it's safe to say the child will be to 
left of you as it grows to adulthood--there's no room to go further 
to the right.  Just think David--you may at this very moment be 
cuddling a future tenant leader who reacts against Daddy's extremism.

	The message itself contained several insults as well as a 
question answered on numerous occassions.  He again posted his question
without insult in ne.general only and I answered it last night in 
ne.general only--it's there if you care to take a look at it although
I suspect you've already read it.  It's interesting though how some
will complain about how much another writes yet feel they've a right
to response to every comment and question they make concerning you.
My use of 'bandwidth' in the above example was to explain that if
he wanted a response it should be presented in a more adult like 
fashion (.i.e. without personal insult).  You yourself used to be
capable of that and hopefully the ability will return--you often have
good points to make even though you're always dead wrong of course.
Leave you guns at the door if you want to debate.
